Then the clear, we'll modulated voice of
Parsons breaks the oppressive stiffness. 1t
is the voice of judge delivering decis-
iona scarcely noticeable pause bet tween
the words: Shall be allowed to speak,
Oh, men and women of dear America, 2"
The sheriff shifts his position. He is sew
eral feet away from the speaker. but the
speaker must have seen the movement
through the fold of the cap. There is a
rising infection in his voice not so much
of pleading as of demand, 'Let me speak,
Sheriff Matson," is what be says, LET the
voice of the people be heard"

The last words Of Parsons had died upon
his lips. Four bodies swung in empty air
and the Haymarket massacre was avenged
The drop fell at 1855. From the first
step of Spies upon the scaffold until the
cutting of the rope precisely minutes
and seconds had elapsed. For a moment
after the drop had fallen, not a muscle
moved. A low murmur like pent up sign
of relief went through the corridor then as
if moved by one common impulse.

his teeth firmly together and looks down
calmly upon the crowd beneath. His face
is the face of a man of iron. A murmuT
of admiration for his unflinching nerve
goes through the crowd. Engel turns

ITALY'S POLICY.
Sig. Crispi Speaks in Favor of Peace
Throughout Europe


TURIN, Oct. 26.-At a political banquet
given in his honor last evening, Sig.
Crispi, Prime Minister replying to toast,
said that his government would be a gov
ernment of liberty, both civil and religious,
and that he would ask in return, devotion to
the law and respect for justice. After say
ing that there was no danger that peace
would be disturbed abroad, he turned
to home affairs. He referred to the toler-
ance which the nation had shown to the
manifestations often pronounced on the part
of the Vatican and its partisans, and said:
'ShOuld fresh sacrifices become necessary
the government will not hesitate to appeal
to the people for support. Our army avoids
| polemics, and devotes its efforts to improv-
| ing itself. Our workmen d. not assemble
and make violent speeches. They work
and economize Therefore there is nothing
to fear in regard to peace at home. Re
| ferring to the fears caused in France by his
| recent journey he declared that they were
groundless. He could never lend himself to
the weaving of a plot against a nation
which had so greatly contributed to Italy's
redemption. War with France would be as
deplorable in case of victory as it would be
in defeat. While working for our own good
we work also for the benefit and peace of all
nations In these efforts we are not alone.
That man of genius, Prince Bismarck has
also labored for peace. We will work with
him. When l left him recently he said to
me: We have rendered service to Europe
We wish peace with honor"
Referring to Italy's African policy, Sig.
Crispi insisted that the blood of the Italian
soldiers slain by the Abyssinians must be
avenged, and that when the necessary posi-
tiOns were retaken, Italy would be prepared
to negotiate with Abyssinia and to open
all her markets to that country. AS to the
eastern question, it was the Italian govern
ments wish to favor the aspirations of na-
tions desiring to be free, while maintaining
as far as possible, respect for existing trea-
ties. This policy was most useful, insuring
general peace.

The Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
Road Declared InsolVent

HAMILTON, o., Oct 26.--Judge Vande-

mon Pleas, to-day granted the petition of
George j. Duckworth, a stockholder of the
Cincinnati Hamilton and Dayton railroad,
for the appointment of receiver, and for
an Injunction against the directors and Of
ficers of the company restraining them from
issuing any more obligations Of the com
pany to take up the obligations
of Ives q Staynor, the dethroned President
and Vice President The decision was a
complete triumph for Mr.. Duckworth. In
nineteen findings of fact the court decided
that substantially all of the allegations
made by Mr.. Duckworth were true. The
assets of the road were found TO be about
$1,000, 900 and the liabilities about $1,000
000 1t was also found that there is prac-
tically no money on hand to meet the liza
bilities and the road is insolvent. II is found
that the management was bad. A receiver
will be appointed.

night in issuing an order Of stay completely

SIR BLUNTS TRIAL.
No Conclusion Reached-A Meeting of
the League.

DUBLIN, Oct 26.-The trial of Sir Wilfrid
Blunt at Woodford, was resumed to-day.
Mr. Harrington, as counsel for the defense,
applied to the court for a summons to COM
pei the attendance of Mr.. Balfour, Chief
Secretary as witness in order to show
whether the information had been sworn to
as stated in the proclamation, that the pro
posed meeting at WoOdford last Sunday
would lead to a breach OF the peace.
Mr.. Roman, counsel for the prosecution,
denied the right of the defense to ask what
had happened in the Council at Dublin.
The magistrate said that Mr.. Harring-
tons application was founded on the as
sumption that the statements in the procla-
nation were false, and the court was not
competent to decide the question
Hearing of the evidence was then re-
sumed.
The solicitor for the defense made formal
affidavit in support of the application for
the summoning of Mr.. Balfour and the
case was adjourned.

Madison Goes Wet.

past, the citizens of Madison county have
been very much excited over the prohibi-

work had been done on both sides, but it
was generally thought that the prohibition
lists would carry the day. Even the liquor
men had almost despairingly given up the
fight, but il seems that it was foreordained
that the wet ticket should triumph in the
more desperate rally among the liquor men

carried the day nearly two TO one.
